Intention

A good intention can remake your life.

"What do you intend to do?"  Everyone asks that from time to time.  Intention.  It's a state of mind in which you state clearly something you want to accomplish.  For example, you need to make the right decision in a sticky situation.  You don't yet know what that decision will be, but you know at least that you want a harmonious outcome for everyone concerned.  That is your basic intent.  Then focus on it.  Not just for a few minutes, if you are really serious about your intention, but I mean focus on it.  Keep it in the back of your mind.  Bring it out front and reinforce it as much as you possibly can.  Don't ever say, "Oh, well, it wasn't important anyway."  That is, unless you can honestly say you don't want it any more.  Intentions are serious.  They can be brought about through the action of your mind.  Make your intentions really good ones.
